Cheetah is one of the world's fastest animals: it has a distinctive sleek, streamlined shape, long legs and a very flexible spine. Its favourite prey are Thomson's Gazelles. When running, it can twist and turn with remarkable agility since - unlike the rest of the cats - their non-retractile claws remain clamped to the ground at every turn. © Graham Dean - See the Kenya map with a complete picture set.
